Because my mum was like 'oh there's this website you can join when you're 11 called the poetry society' (or something like that, I still to this day don't know what she was referring too. Trying to find said website, I found this and joined! YAY
Someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers, in her hair.
None of my real life friends are into writing. They all know I write and we talk about it every so often, but it's just not the same. I found the site and was super excited to find so many people out there who shared my passion and interests.
Noelle is the name, reviewing and writing cliffhangers is the game.
Writer of fantasy, action/adventure, and magic. Huzzah!

I joined to, uh, find my true calling in life - reviewing. I joined YWS on a whim. Searching writer clubs on the internet (thanks, Google), and up popped YWS - TADAAAAAA.
So I joined, and now it has been a year. YWS has helped me more than I can say, and I have truly become a far better writer. So why did I join YWS initially? - on a whim, and I had no idea what I was doing. Now I keep on YWS because it fuels me with my writing, and the people are the best in the world here.
I realized that my other writing site was kind of toxic and uncaring so I wanted to find a better one where I could actually get to know people and have people that liked me. And to improve my writing skills, of course. ^-^

Well, I was on writing.com (an outdated behemoth where you really need to pay to do much of anything) when I saw a post from Nate advertising his then-brand-new site. I joined mainly out of curiosity, but considering I'm still here 10 years later and I mainly only log on to writing.com occasionally for kicks, I'd say it was a solid choice.

I initially joined this site because of my brother (timmyjake). He was going completely bizarre over it and so I thought I should take a look at what this was. Seeing as I've been here for not even a year yet, and my writing has improved a million times over, I'd say I'm pretty glad I joined. not a million times over, but you guys get the picture, right?

Why I joined? Let's see. I was trying to find a chat room free from pervs and full of sensible people and lo and behold:!: Here I found YWS! It's not only a chatroom. It is also a website for aspiring writers. It's where the writer's dreams come true. Hurrah! Hats off to YWS!!!!
I joined another writing forum before YWS but there was so little activity on there I gave up and never posted anything apart from an introduction. After desperately trying to find a website that people were actually using I finally found YWS, registered and set up a post introducing myself.
I got plenty of replies almost instantly... my introduction on the other website took days to get just one comment. I find the quality of the writing on here is better too, there are more things you can do (such as the chatroom) and the layout's much more navigable.
I was googling writing tips o: one of the results was 100 Writing Tips by @Nate (I think..? I can't seem to find it anymore xD), which I liked so hjklknkasdf-much that I joined the site. >.>
I googled website for young writers and then there came up a list of websites with YWS as number one and I think YWS is the #1 writers website.I joined and from that time I am an addictive and overly-active member.I am on chat a lot so if you dont go on chat and look around.I also review like a lot 3-4 reviews a day so I might review you work somedau. Anyways I love you all YWS users!

Well, writing has been something that's interested me for a bit now, so I decided that getting the ball rolling at a young age would really help me. I googled "Websites for young writers", YWS came up, and I joined. This was fairly recently also.

( I honestly don't remember why else )
It's where the writer's dreams come true. Hurrah!
